@Presh_amazing responded:

"I can't wait, hopefully I will be done watching Beauty in black by the end of October."

@TSelekane44539 mentioned:

"Zozibini is an enigma. She's beautiful on the inside and out. She can speak really well, but doesn't do it all the time. She doesn't seek attention, but when she gets it, she uses it for respectable and honourable things. She probably had men who offered her the world, but she chose love. This is the standard for Miss Universe."
